Plus Highway 128 paved path
By request, here's the dope on this paved bike route. Old 191 is the former path of Highway 191, and is now also called the Moab Canyon Pathway. Over the years, the old highway degenerated into a broken dirt path with a few bits of remaining asphalt. It has now been rehabilitated and extended so it forms a nice paved bike path from the north end of Moab to Highway 313. Connecting to this trail at the Colorado is the new seven-million dollar paved path along State Route 128.






You'll overtake wrong-lane cyclists with ipods in their ears and Chatty Cathies walking three abreast. So pass with care.
